As the studios and guilds move toward extending an agreement amid the rise of omicron, some entertainment workers say more frequent testing is needed and booster shots should be incorporated.
“Production was robust in the last months of the year, and the return from the holiday hiatus has been comparatively slow,” says FilmLA rep. “To date, we have seen more than a dozen productions that originally planned to film in early January call FilmLA to cancel or reschedule their shoots for a later time.”
Still, several crewmembers who spoke for this story emphasized that over time, some productions have become more relaxed with how they handle and enforce the return-to-work protocols even as omicron surges and production workers have just returned to work after the holidays. “The last several shows I’ve been on, the COVID teams basically tell people, ‘Well, my boss isn’t here, so feel free not to wear your masks because we’ve been good about testing regularly.
Walt Disney Co. umbrella have voiced concerns that when they go to work, testing requirements don’t always go much further than what is in the agreement. Another source also working on a Disney project called such limited Zone D testing “a vacuum in leadership — management and the union.” The source says, “I can’t begin to understand how that’s good for anyone including their own company, putting the workers that are producing their content at risk.”
